Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, etc.) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a thin consistency perfect for crepes.
- Cook Crepes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt the butter to coat the pan. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl it to cover the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift easily from the pan, then flip and cook an additional 30 seconds. Remove and repeat with remaining batter to make multiple crepes.
- Make Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling on each crepe. Roll up each crepe tightly and slice into bite-sized pieces suitable for serving as finger food.
- Garnish and Serve: Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter and garnish with fresh fruit such as sliced strawberries or blueberries. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and creamy dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent crepes from sticking and to achieve a delicate texture.
- For variation, you can add lemon zest to the filling for a citrus twist.
- These roll-ups are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Let them come to room temperature before serving.
- Adjust the sugar quantity in the batter or filling according to personal sweetness preferences.
